Wen Ling didn't know what happened to Du Yong, but in early August, he summoned Song Wanqing again, and heard Song Wanqing say that it was recently reported from the Prime Minister's Mansion that the Prime Minister's son was seriously preparing for the scientific examination, and was determined to be angry and strong, and temporarily closed the door to thank guests, Wen Ling guessed that Du Yong might not be in a good situation, but he was helpless.

After all, Du Yong is the son of Du Zhong, and it is natural for a son to listen to his father's words, otherwise it is against filial piety.

It's just that he secretly told Yunying to pay attention to the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion at any time, if he can, he can save Du Yong before he has an accident, then he will be saved, Du Yong is also an eyeliner in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if Du Yong has an accident, then no one can really enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Du Zhong's handle.

As for the news that the cause of Zhai's death was different, Wen Ling also told Gu Xun, and Gu Xun sent someone to Zhai's mother's house to investigate.

Unexpectedly, this investigation did not find out the cause of Zhai's death, but found out other news.

"Do you remember the three daughters that Zhai married out?" Rong Qing couldn't help but be happy when she talked about it.

"Yes." Wen Ling nodded, "The Zhai family gave birth to three daughters for Du Zhong, and they all married far away. ”

Rong Qing nodded, "Speaking of which, the three daughters of the Zhai clan are somewhat similar to the Zhai clan, but they are not at all with Prime Minister Du. ”

Wen Ling was slightly surprised when he heard this, and looked at Rong Qingdao, "What does this mean?" It's hard to ......"

"I went to the ancestral house of the house, that is, the mansion of the old Shangshu, and inquired about the news to know that the housekeeper of the house was once the childhood sweetheart of the house, and when the old Shangshu did not follow the first emperor to serve, the two had a marriage contract. It's just that later, Zhai married Prime Minister Du, and the man stayed in the house as a housekeeper after his parents left, and when he was young, Zhai married Prime Minister Du and frequently returned to his parents' house. After the emperor sent someone to investigate, he found that the three daughters of the Zhai family were somewhat similar to the housekeeper. Rong Qing said firmly, "On the way back from General Huo, he passed by the ancestral house of the house and went to visit the old Shangshu, and found some clues, the house must have had an adulterous affair with the childhood sweetheart before his death, and the woman's house was hidden in the woman's jewelry. ”

Wen Ling furrowed his brows, "So, it's very likely that none of the Zhai's three daughters are Zhai's children?" ”

"Yes, General Huo went to visit Lao Shangshu to confirm, even if the guess was wrong, but it is certain that the Zhai family and Du Zhong are not affectionate."

"But...... Zhai is married to Du Zhong......" Wen Ling knocked his chin and thought deeply, looking at Rong Qingdao, "Then what does Gu Xun think?" ”

"Ordinary people get married, but there are two reasons, one is because of emotion, and the other is because of interests. If there is no emotion, it should be for profit. Rong Qing said, "Therefore, the emperor has sent someone to investigate, although the matter has been a long time ago, but if you really want to investigate, you will inevitably find clues." ”

"Hmm......" Wen Ling nodded.

In fact, Gu Xun can call the shots for such things alone.

It's just that Wen Ling is alone in the harem, after the last incident, although Gu Xun occasionally comes to sleep with Wen Ling in the middle of the night, but in the end he can't accompany Wen Ling for a long time, Gu Xun feels that he owes Wen Ling a little bit in his heart, so using this method can at least let Wen Ling "participate" in the things he handles.

"But there is news from Beiyang today." Rong Qing remembered something, "It is said that there are remnants of the royal family of the Wei State who secretly organized the assembly of the old department. ”

"The remnants of the royal family of the Wei State?" Wen Ling frowned, "Haven't all the remnants of the royal family of Wei been killed?" ”

In addition to Jiang Guo, Yang Guo Lu Guo, Gu Rin and Gu Xun all have mercy for the sake of the people, but Wei is different.

Wei has a history of 300 years of national politics, and the background is also rich in time, although the previous Emperor Wei Xian listened to the words of the eunuchs, mediocre, but Wei is still Wei in the end, the people and soldiers have a sense of belonging to their own country, once the flag of the family and the country falls, change the name and surname, for these people, they are equivalent to surviving in other countries, only when the new life replaces the old memory, this feeling will gradually erase.

Therefore, all the royal family of Wei were slaughtered, Gu Rin got through the people in the Wei palace and directly picked off the head of Emperor Wei Xian, in addition, all the royal relatives related to the royal family of Wei were not left.

Why is it that there is a remnant of the royal family of Wei State all of a sudden now?

"Yes, now there are only rumors in Beiyang, so the general who took over Beiyang has not caught the real person. It stands to reason that there is no one in the Wei royal family, and I don't know why someone would say so. Rong Qing just mentioned it in passing, "It's just that the emperor said that there is nothing to do, and there must be a reason, so the emperor wants to ask Niangniang for a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

"The emperor said that Niangniang is careful, and a few days ago I read the Wei State file, if Niangniang is empty, you can find out what is wrong with it." Rong Qingdao.

Wen Ling thought for a moment, "I know, let's go down." ”

Rong Qing left, Yi Yu came up to pour tea, a little puzzled, "Princess, when I was rummaging through the files a few days ago, it was a big stack, and the slaves and maids were tired to look at, how could the emperor hand over this kind of work, since it was an important matter, then leave it to the slaves to do." ”

"The ministers are going up and down the court, and there are few slaves who can read and write, and ordinary people can't see what they are looking for." Wen Ling smiled, "Besides, this princess is also idle in this palace every day. ”

She's really idle.

Now I lie down every day after eating, and when I lie down enough, I start to eat, and my face begins to grow meat!

"Go, let's go to the library, and let the palace people bring over the classics I read a few days ago, and by the way, bring the annals of the Wei Kingdom."

Wen Ling also knew what Gu Xun wanted her to find.

Now that Gu Xun can't transcribe his time, the manpower under his command is fully utilized, Huo Qing is about to return to the dynasty, military attaches are available, but civil officials are not at all. A few days ago, she raised her doubts about the secret passage to Gu Xun, she suspected that the secret passage was made by himself when Emperor Wei Huan was grounded in the palace, after all, to dig such a secret passage under the palace, the movement cannot be small, and the time cannot be far away, unless it is the original owner of the palace who wants to dig the secret passage.

Although the Jin State has been established for 20 years, and Emperor Wei Huan has died more than 30 years ago.

Wen Ling looked through the history of Wei, but read the evaluation of Emperor Wei Huan in the history books.

If you want to say how Emperor Wei Huan returned to the throne from a deposed prince who was exiled to the palace, the first half of his life can be said to be legendary. But after becoming the emperor in the second half of his life, Emperor Wei Huan exposed some of his nature, that is, lustful, although Emperor Wei Huan was still sensible, Rao was also subjected to the collective admonition of the ministers at that time.

Wen Ling checked the wild history of the same period, but found that there was a woman with a big belly in the people, saying that she was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Emperor Wei Huan, and the matter was big, how could the royal flesh and blood be lost to the people. However, Emperor Wei Huan's Empress Yuan was ruthless, and secretly controlled the government, ostensibly accepted the other party into the palace, but secretly attacked the other party, even if Emperor Wei Huan had many heirs, but in the end the Empress Yuan still let his only son Emperor Wei Xian ascend the throne.

The records in the wild history are not clear, but there are several versions circulated among the people.

For the sons of Emperor Wei Huan in the end, Empress Yuan exhausted all means, and married those who died and married, anyway, there are not a few left.

Later, Empress Yuan died, and Emperor Wei Xian was still in power to listen to the words of the eunuchs, and insisted on going his own way until the people's hearts were lost.

Eunuch?

Wen Ling suddenly thought of Kang Yi.

Emperor Wei Xian believed in eunuchs, and Kang Yi was also a eunuch.

It has only been twenty-three years since the first emperor lived in this Jin Palace, but Kang Yi is not young, because the time is too long, and Wen Ling can't find the brochures in the palace, Kang Yi has a problem, but I'm afraid that he has already hidden his true information. But what Wen Ling can know is that Kang Yi is about the same age as the first emperor, how can he be forty or fifty.

The first emperor lived in the Jin Palace twenty-three years ago, and twenty-one years ago took over the pole and became independent, and Kang Yi was able to stay by the side of the first emperor to serve, so it means that Kang Yi could not be the old palace man left by the original palace.

I think Gu Xun must have guessed this, so he asked her to check the relevant clues.

"The princess has thought of something, if she has any doubts, it doesn't hurt to ask them, maybe the slave can answer a thing or two." Xianqin looked at Wen Ling's brows and opened his mouth kindly.

"Auntie, in our Qi country, are there eunuchs who only entered the palace in their twenties?" Wen Ling asked.

Xianqin thought for a while, "That's no, this slave has to be trained since childhood, and it is easy to use it with him, and if the eunuch wants to break the roots, the sooner the better, so when the Internal Affairs Office recruits eunuchs, they are all over three years old and under nine years old." If it is a palace maid, then it is a little more relaxed, from five to fifteen years old, there are all. ”

And eunuchs are different from palace maids, palace maids can wait until they are old to release them from the palace.

But the eunuchs did not.

Before Wen Ling entered the palace, the rules in the Jin Palace, unless the master allowed it, the eunuch had to stay in the palace until he died, so most of the eunuchs died in the palace, and there were far fewer women who could get out alive. It is impossible for Kang Yi to enter the palace and break his roots until he was in his twenties, so it is very likely that Kang Yi broke his roots before entering the palace.

"That aunt, is there a eunuch in Qi who broke his roots before entering the palace?"

"That's also there, some poor families, afraid of selling their sons, the palace people don't look down on them, so they cut off their children's roots outside, hoping to exchange two points of mercy. However, most of the children died outside, and a small number of those who did not die also had to be screened to see if the body bones were healthy before entering the palace, and if they were not clean, they had to be broken a second time. Xianqin said after recalling.

Listening to Xianqin's words, Wen Ling didn't doubt that Kang Yi was the heir left behind by Emperor Wei Huan.

Let's not mention that Kang Yi is very likely to have broken his roots outside since he was a child, but he was not selected by the people in the palace, so he didn't have to come in.

But if his mother knew that he was the heir left behind by Emperor Wei Huan of Huaxin, how could she be willing to let him cut off his roots.

Although Wen Ling dispelled this idea, he always felt as if there should be something involved.

Kang Yi is a eunuch, if he doesn't have some ability, how can he be trusted by the first emperor for many years?

Thinking of this, Wen Ling felt the need to find an old minister to inquire.
